Andreas Thanks again for your clear response.
If there is any way in which I can positively influence the decision to include this patch then I would like to do so. I am currently employed in a financial services (Insurance) company in the UK, where we are undertaking an upgrade of our use of FOP from version 0.20.5 to 0.94 (or 0.95 depending on likely release date). Unfortunately this bug is a real show-stopper as we have to preserve existing documents. In the Insurance industry it is vital to be able to vary elements (in this case document footers) based on the content/position of the page within the document. In many cases there is a legal requirement for certain company details to appear on certain pages. The way we are currently doing this is through the use of the <marker> element. Unfortunately in most cases the document footer must also contain pagination details (e.g. Page 1 of 10) and it is this feature that has regressed in 0.94/5. I am sure that there is alternative way to achieve this and for new documents that is no problem. Refactoring existing documents is much more of a pain and more time-consuming (cost).

I guess I could commit it to the release branch as well, but I would rather see confirmation from other devs first. No problem for me to apply this fix to 0.95 (after all, it's only a very small patch), but if someone's already preparing the release, I'd rather not get in their way... Anyone?
